What is the metalic composition of the US gold colored dollar coins?

A friend returned from Greece today and gave me some Euro coins that I tested to be magnetic.

Canadian ‘looneys’ (one dollar coin) are magnetic although appear gold as do our recently minted dollar coins. But US dollar coins are not attracted by a magnet.
